Team Talk

Messages and instructions for JOE 2025 Team:

Tech Hick-ups:

Apologies if at times you aren’t able to view all posts smoothly. We can experience some lags in loading images. I believe that there are now images of all students with their Hosts. – Mrs S

Arriving Shortly at Minokamo:

Good afternoon parents: we will shortly be at our sister school. You children are excited and ready to go. We have touched base with them and will be spending time in prayer and a focused devotional. Before meeting their host families.

We ask that we all honor the request of the sister and not phone the hosts directly and allow the students to settle in.

Many families have organized activities in the town for the weekend and it is highly likely the leaders will see them out and about.

If you have any concerns please reach out to Mrs Shimizu (just ring my mobile as if I was in Brisbane).

We thank you again for the privilege of taking your child on the sister school program. – Mrs S

Term 3 Week 9: Almost…

Get ready team! Busy and focused; you’ve been given lots of information and hints and now’s the time to get stuff done. Pack this weekend, gather all the items you need; email addresses so you can stay in touch; set your grand parents up on the blog site; prepare some gifts for your host family.

Remember to bring a book and maybe cards to past the time as we wait at airports!

My pre-departure ritual is to go for a walk at Redcliffe and enjoy a family meal of steak! Even your leaders are blessed by the support of their families and work colleagues!

Most importantly spend time in prayer and self-preparation find your center of calm and strength in our Lord.

See you Monday last get together!- Mrs S
